SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 714,339, dated November25, 1902, Application iiled April 17, 1902. Serial No. 103,420. (Nomodel.)

J a/Z w/wm t may concern:

Be it known that we,EDWARD WARREN and lGEORGE W. HEALY, citizens of theUnited States, residing at Fort Thomas, in the county "of Graham andTerritory of Arizona, have in- A tively inexpensive of production, andwhich Y ss is designed to be placed upon an ordinary cook-stove for thepurpose of heating the water and boiling it.

With this object in View the invention consists of certain novelfeatures of construction,

` combination, and arrangement of parts,which Will be hereinafter morefully described, and particularly pointed out in the appended claims.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view through thedevice. Fig. 2 is an enlargeddetailed sectional view through the end ofthe hinged tube or trough, and Fig. 3 is a detailed end elevation ofsaid tube or trough.

Referring to the drawings, 1 denotes a boiler having a dischargetube 2.-This boiler is adapted to be placed upon the top of a stove and in thepresent instance is shown in the form of a tea-kettle.

3 denotes the still, which consists of a shell 4, having supporting-legs5 and a condensing-chamber 6.

'7 denotes a discharge-pipe for the condensing-chamber, and 8 the faucetat the end thereof. p

9 denotes a tube or trough hinged intermediate its ends at 10 and havingone end projecting into the condensing-chanuber and the other endprojecting from without the same. This tube or trough is preferablycurved, as shown, and is formed at its outer end with a catch-basin 11,formed of an upwardly-projecting flange or strip 12, extendingtransversely across the end of the trough or tube. Arranged inward ofthis catch-basin is a lip 13, which when the discharge-tube 2 of theboiler is inserted into the tube or trough 9 projects into the end ofsaid discharge-tube.

14 denotes a faucet communicating with the water-space in the still andhaving its lower end projecting through an opening 15 in the tube ortrough 9, immediately above the lip 13.

The parts being assembled upon the stove, as shown in the drawings, theboiler is filled with water, and the shell #i of the still is alsoilledwith water. As the water within the boiler turns to steam saidsteam will discharge through the tubes 2 and 9 into thecondensing-chamber, which being surrounded by cold Water will condensethe steam into Water, which may be drawn off through the pipe 7 andfaucet 8,. As the water within the shell becomes heated it may beremoved from the open top of the shell and placed Within the boiler l,or the faucet may be opened and a part of the water within the shell runthrough said faucet onto the lip 13 and through the tube 2 into theboiler. Any Water of condensation which may remain in the tube 9 at itsouter end is caught by withdrawing the tube 2 from the tube 9 and thebasin 11, and by tilting the tube 9 on its hinge this water may run orbe let into the condensing-chamber.

From the foregoing description, taken in connection with theaccompanying drawings, the construction, mode of operation, andadvantages of the inventionwill be readily un-l derstood withoutrequiring an extended explanation.

Various changes in the form, proportion, and details of construction maybe made within the scope of the invention without departing from thespirit or sacrificing any of the advantages thereof.

Having thus describedour invention, what we claim, and desire to secureby Letters Patent, is-
